Neutral Fare Prorates With IS

• NFP engine will be available to carriers for
  FIRST FINAL (NFP Final) and non-FF (NFP
  non-final) purposes
• NFP non-final could minimize rejections without
  any obligation by the carriers
• Neutral Prorate Correction Service (NPCS)
• Corrects errors with sales records
• Prorate still considered to be neutral
• Increasingly complex levels of correction as
  allowed by the carriers profile (Update the
  master tables, etc)
• Correction level added to record
• All Time of Sales processes, including NFP and
  NPCS are non-core
